Summary: In this NY Times article, it discusses the problems to keeping your identity on the Internet, specifically social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Brad Stone, the writer of this article, talks about the updated option used on Facebook and Twitter. Anyone can personalize the link to their page like, www.facebook.com/jeanaceglia. They are saying this creates problems because if someone has a common name like John Smith, you can only personalize the facebook link on a first come, first served basis. This isn't a huge problem for just an average person using Facebook but someone like a celebrity or a corporation using a social networking site may run into problems. The article used RCN, a cable and technology service company, as an example to prevent from fraud. In order for RCN to contain the name www.facebook.com/rcn, they have to have a certain amount of fans. Fraud is a huge issue when it involves celebrities and corporations because a lot of people pose as them and create false information about them. It shows that social networking systems do not always portray anyone's true identity. Response: I feel this article describes and explains a big issue to many people who uses social networking. It shows that anyone who uses sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, may not portray their true identity. This article supports my idea that social networking systems is not a reliable source to show identity. These websites mostly only show a certain portion of one's identity or it can just be false information. My previous article was about how employers use Facebook as a source to pertain someone's morality or work ethic. This would not be able to work because by the content in this article, false identity is an issue all over the Internet. If employers used Facebook as a source of judgment, they are judging use based on our social life than our professional ethics. Usefulness: This article can really help my judgment of social networking and identity. The NY Times article shows that identity is one of the most important issues all over the Internet which includes social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc. This article somewhat connects to the previous annotated article because it explains why companies use social networking sites, especially Facebook, as a source to their decision making of employment.
Summary: Natural Born Liars, written by Dr. John M. Grohol, explains that humans are drawn to deceit and lying. The movies and shows we watch will have a plot that “revolves around deceit in some shape or form.” The blog entry continues to suggest that lying is natural to humans and that we lie without guilt. To prove this, Grohol conducted a study of men and women while they speak with strangers. Grohol video tapped these men and women while speaking with strangers. He discovered that men and women lie equally, except that women lie to make the stranger feel good about themselves and men lie to make themselves look good.
Response: I found that this blog entry made me really ask myself if I thought that humans were born with any attraction of lying. I think we do. Lies can make our lives more interesting or lies are told in order for us to hear what we want to hear in order to be happy in any situation. I thought the blog was very well thought out and understandable but I would like to have read more about studies or scientific explanations that prove Grohol’s conclusion.
Usefulness: This blog opens a door to new researches and new discoveries about how the brain functions. We can use this as inspiration to study the people around us and to watch how people act around new people and people they have known for a long time.
Identity is a very important concept when dealing with the Internet. The Internet can allow people to be someone they are not and also allow people to figure out who they are. The Internet is a very good place for people who are shy because online they can come across as a totally different person. With online dating people tend to make their identity who they truly are because they actually have to meet face to face eventually. People can misrepresent themselves when dealing with their online identity and this can cause harm to others when they meet. You never truly know the person you are actually chatting with until you actually meet them.
Response
There were many things that I thought were interesting about this article. I think that online identity is a very important thing. People who are too shy to go out and meet people choose to meet people online through dating websites. I believe that they do not have enough confidence to go out and find the perfect mate for himself or herself in person so they turn to online dating websites. This allows them to build up their confidence and make sure the person is actually interested in them before going on a date. I believe they do this so they do not get turned down when popping the question about going on a date. Since they have been chatting online they already know for sure that the person wants to go on the date with them. I also find it interesting that people portray themselves differently online. They like the fact that they can have two different lives and be two different people. So I believe it is very difficult to trust people who you meet online because you never know whom they really are. Even when met in person they can tell you lies and people would believe it because it was on their profile. It is very confusing when you see a gorgeous picture of someone online and in person they are not as gorgeous. Photoshop is an amazing thing that can portray unrealistic images. I want to know more about how many online dating people portray themselves how they really are. I can believe that many portray themselves as someone who they are not. I do not understand how portraying a false image can make people happy.
Usefulness
This text is useful to me because I am researching identity with online dating. Some people portray themselves differently online than in person and some people do not. Identity is a very important factor when dealing with people online. It is very difficult to trust people because you never know who they really are. The Internet allows people to have two separate identities, one online identity, and their real identity. Online identity can help some people understand who they really are, but it can also turn someone into something they are not. The most successful online dating is when people are honest about their online identity. But many people choose not to be honest because they are not happy with who they are and they want to be someone else. The Internet allows people to do this and it can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation. The Internet can be a very good thing for shy people because people come across less shy online. Many people can view what you write on your profile for online dating differently. People can take what you say about yourself badly or good or just be confused on what you were really trying to say. This text supports my research because it explains how identity is formatted online. It shows that people can portray themselves differently then how they really are.

Michael Jackson is One of the most well known superstars worldwide. After his mysterious death on June 25th, 2009 the news was all over social network, face book, youtube, google searches skyrocketed in the searches of Michael jackson. His music was brought back to the now generation. his death gave him a huge popularity boost and with the help of the technology of today, people all over the nation were able to take in his music anywhere. After Michael Jackson died, his facebook page had the most number of fans and he was moved up to the number one spot with over 80,000 fans. He already had 2.6 millions downloads in his name by july first, only a week after he passed. 30 percent of all tweets were about Michael Jackson that day. Todays technology made it so easy for people to go back in time and celebrate his life by listening to his music or watching old performances on Youtube. Although he is gone, he is even more well known than before because of the social network talking about his life, music and unfortunate death. Michael Jacksons life has been filled with controversy and magazines, articles and online sites have a lot to do with the twisted truth of his life. Michael Jacksons death swarmed the media because of the ability to make controversy so easily from the quick and speedy ability to spread news electronically.
Summary: This article found on EBSCOhost is about Facebook and employers in the workforce. It shows that people who portray different images on Facebook is how they will manage to work for their company. Before social networking became popular, college students used Facebook as a way to communicate with other peers. Nowadays, people, mostly at a younger age, post personal information on Facebook as if their profile was private. The article explains how things posted on Facebook can range up to posting pictures of their puppy to comments explaining about parties involving drugs and/or alcohol. This can definitely affect an employers' decision based on someone's work ethic. Facebook and other social networking sites are valid ways to research information on an applicant. An image that an applicant portrays on the Internet can positively or negatively effect the position of their application. Response: I feel this article really helped me realize how important it is to be cautious on the worldwide web. Nowadays, students are always warned on what they post on their social networking site, whether it is Facebook or Myspace. This is because schools and universities can see what activities you have become involved with just as much as employers, too. I feel it is very important to portray yourself in a way that is appropriate for all audiences yet, why is not acceptable to express yourself in the way you want? This can be involved with stereotypes, what is accepted in society, etc. I feel this article both involves identity and security. Social networking sites are a way for people to reflect how other people see their identity which can be a good and bad thing but how do you know who sees your website or not? Usefulness: What I want to know is if judging people's employment based on social networking sites really acceptable. Employers do not really know applicants personally and can turn down a good potential employee. I also want to know if social networking is more of a positive or negative activity that people use. People who use social networking can stereotype and judge whomever they please online but is that a good thing? What are the outcomes of that happening?

For example, diabetes, obesity, blood pressure, weight maintenance, and heart diseases.

We know that sports is one of important principle in our lives, but many of us overlook its usefulness may be because some people use the excuse that they do not have time to exercise and may also be a concern because the impact and usefulness of the body are not in a short time, but needs a period of time factors associated with sport and the number of times practiced and willpower The firmness and consistency in practice. Overall, sports play an important roles in our life so we can’t quit on it.
Usefulness: What I need to know if somebody practicing his favorite hobby and then he quit on it what will happen for him? Will he get overweight even if he don’t eat too much ? because I asked some doctors and they said the first thing he going to get is overweigh, so I agree with their opinion.

[[A Whole New World of Freaks and Geeks: Libraries and Librarians on YouTube]]
Connor Kaminski
Summary: In the article, A Whole New World of Freaks and Geeks: Libraries and Librarians on YouTube, talks about how the identity of libraries and librarians has changed over time and that there are five ways that people perceive librarians today. Over the years movies have portrayed librarians almost as "old maids", "party girls", or just socially awkward people who just have introverted personalities. Now in this new era of technology, with you tube, has changed the stereotype of librarians completely. The woman librarians can be perceived as sexy librarians whom people want to have sexual intercourse with (Poulin 1). and on the other hand male librarians on you tube are considered to interested in there job and take it too seriously.
Response: I like this article because it is nice to know that peoples identities online are changing for them better. Although I do not really care for librarians or libraries too much. I do not think that this is the only thing that has changed the stereotypes about people, because of the internet and YouTube. For example you tube bloggers who post video diaries are considered weird people to most but on YouTube everybody watches there diaries. Like a user by the name of DaxFlame on you tube. He is considered a freak by most but at one point in time at his peak of popularity he was one of the most watched people on the internet. This goes to show that YouTube is changing the way people view others, in reality and on the internet.
Usefulness: I think that this article is relevant to my research because it show how peoples indenties are changing because of YouTube. Also things like you tube are making it easy for people to be viewed and share information with one another.

Chatroulette offers random webcam titillation
Matthew Tuszynski
Summary: In this article John D. Sutter describes the new site chatroulette.com on this site users can randomly chat with strangers from different parts of the world. Sutter describes his experience with the site and what he saw on the site. He said that he saw teenagers flipping people off, people playing with themselves, and signs for girls to show their breasts. He points out that on chatroulette you get paired up with random people, compared to facebook where you can only interact with your friends. Because of this "people are creating new relationships rather than deepening the relationships with the people they already know." He also said that his one hour conversation was extremely long for chatroulette, and that normally the meetings only last a couple minutes.
Response: I thought that his experience was very comparable to mine, when I first logged on to chat roulette I only flipped people off and yelled at them if they were a guy, and if they were above thirty me and my friends would yell "Your'e old! and You are gonna die soon!" Sutter mentioned that if you were above thirty you would most likely face discrimination. The first thing I thought when I logged on chatroulette was that it would take over face book and replace it as the best thing to waste time while on a computer. After a while however the site got a little bit boring, and very disturbing. It was very intersting that the main thing people use technology for was pornography.
Usefulness: This article was extremely usefull, it backed up all of my original feelings on the site and helped me realize that I was not the only one flipping people off and calling them old.
